Make sure you are searching for "all file types". It could just be that your PC doesn't know they are there and by selecting the above it will find them.

Try browsing in bridge in the card....

It should see the RAW files

You might need to update the adobe camera raw version

That might be the case, try the adobe website. Should get it from there.

Have a look here

is it Photoshop or your operating system not seeing the files?

 

[String]

Does say, you need to have java script downloaded and enabled....

its my operating system thats not seeing them.
i copied and pasted them in to a folder and they open fine in cs5.
just cant work out why the card reader is not seeing them and java is up to date and enabled.

Try downloading direct from the cam into your folder and see if that works. Which OS is it?

 

[Smeghead]

Not sure if you're in a Windows system, but if you are try enabling hidden files/folders (Tools > Folder options).

That's pretty much the only reason I can think of for files not showing up in the file browser. It is very odd that it works in Photoshop though.

i have managed to upload the raw files to my desired folder when i put the card in the reader instead of using import files on to my computer i scrolled down to adobe bridge and used this just wondered if this is the normal way to do it.

Have you tried the "open folder to view files in windows explorer" option? I normally just copy and paste the DCIM folder to my hard drive, and sort it from there. It's also a lot easier/faster to browse the RAW files directly from your hard drive, rather than through a slow USB cable.

Not all windows versions can view the thumbnails on raw files.
